High Fyfe for another Dockers debutante

Tim Clarke

Nathan Fyfe will make his Dockers debut at the Anzac Day game against Richmond.

Nathan Fyfe is set to become Fremantle's 150th player on one of the club's most important days of the year - Anzac Day.

The final teams for the Len Hall Anzac Day match against Richmond were released this afternoon and featured Fyfe starting in the forward line in place of the injured Des Headland, who failed to recover from a knee injury.

Fyfe becomes the 150th player ever to pull on a Dockers guernsey, following Luke Toia as the 50th player and Andrew Browne the 100th.

Rhys Palmer has been named as an emergency but is still a chance to be a late inclusion.

Impressive form for WAFL leaders Claremont gave Fyfe his chance, on the same weekend that WAFL teammate Lewis Stevenson makes his AFL debut for the Eagles.

Despite successive selections as an emergency, the 20th pick overall in last year's AFL draft said it was still a shock when the call came he had made the team.
